Continuous cohomology computed from a contracted complex #
Let J be a complex of topological G-representations with a contraction
c : TopRep.ResolutionContraction X J onto X, whose maps need not be equivariant. The comparison
c.comparison : J ⟶ TopRep.resolution' X induces a map on the cohomology of invariants
c.cohomologyMap n : Hⁿ(Jᴳ) ⟶ Hⁿ(G, X),
and every G-invariant cocycle z of J has a class c.cohomologyClass z in Mathlib's
continuous cohomology: the class of the homogeneous cocycle into which the comparison carries z,
which is also the image of the class of z under c.cohomologyMap
(TopRep.ResolutionContraction.cohomologyMap_homologyπ). This is how a cocycle on a complex built
from other resolutions, such as the diagonal tensor of a cocycle on the tensor-induced resolution
of an open subgroup in Evens' multiplicative transfer, is read as a continuous cohomology class.
Over a locally compact group the comparison is unique up to homotopy, which makes these maps canonical:
- they do not depend on the contraction, only on its augmentation
(
TopRep.ResolutionContraction.cohomologyMap_eq_of_ι_eq); - more generally, two maps of degree
nfromJinto the coinduced resolution of anyZ, commuting with the differentials and agreeing on the augmentation, give an invariant cocycle the same class (TopRep.ResolutionContraction.cochainClass_eq_of_ι_comp_eq); such maps carry invariant cocycles to homogeneous cocycles (TopRep.d_mapInvariants_apply_of_comm); - they are natural in chain maps of contracted complexes lying over a coefficient morphism
(
TopRep.ResolutionContraction.cohomologyMap_comp_coeffMap); in particular a chain map over the identity ofXpreserves classes (TopRep.ResolutionContraction.cohomologyClass_map); - for the coinduced resolution contracted by evaluation at
1, they are the identity and the ordinary class map (TopRep.cohomologyMap_resolutionContraction,TopRep.cohomologyClass_resolutionContraction).
Already without local compactness, the class is linear in the cocycle and cohomologous invariant
cocycles have the same class (TopRep.ResolutionContraction.cohomologyClass_eq_of_sub_eq_d). In
degree zero a cocycle is the augmentation of its retraction, so its class is the degree-zero class
of that invariant vector (TopRep.ResolutionContraction.cohomologyClass_eq_degreeZeroClass).

The class of an invariant cocycle is its image under the cohomology map: cohomologyMap
sends the class of z in Hⁿ(Jᴳ) to c.cohomologyClass z.
The class of a sum of invariant cocycles is the sum of their classes.
The class of the zero cocycle is zero.
The class of a scalar multiple of an invariant cocycle is the scalar multiple of its class.
Cohomologous invariant cocycles have the same class: if z - z' is the differential of
an invariant element of J, then z and z' have the same class in Hⁿ⁺¹(G, X).
The class of an invariant degree-zero cocycle is the degree-zero class of its retraction.
In degree zero a cocycle z of the contracted complex is ι (proj z), so its class in
H⁰(G, X) = X^G is the invariant vector proj z.
Independence of the contraction. Two contractions of J onto X with the same
augmentation induce the same map on cohomology.
Naturality of the cohomology map. For contractions c of J onto X and c' of J'
onto Y, a coefficient morphism g : X ⟶ Y and a chain map f : J ⟶ J' lying over it give a
commutative square: Hⁿ(Jᴳ) ⟶ Hⁿ(G, X) ⟶ Hⁿ(G, Y) equals Hⁿ(Jᴳ) ⟶ Hⁿ(J'ᴳ) ⟶ Hⁿ(G, Y).

Classes are independent of the contraction. Two contractions of J onto X with the
same augmentation give every invariant cocycle the same class.
A chain map over the identity preserves classes. If f : J ⟶ J' lies over the identity
of X for contractions c of J and c' of J', then an invariant cocycle z of J and its
image f z have the same class in Hⁿ(G, X).
Naturality of classes in the coefficients. For a chain map f : J ⟶ J' lying over a
coefficient morphism g : X ⟶ Y, the coefficient map of g carries the class of an invariant
cocycle z of J to the class of f z.
Uniqueness of comparisons of degree n. Let φ and ψ be families of equivariant maps
Jᵖ ⟶ C^{p + n} into the coinduced resolution of Z, raising degrees by n and commuting with
the differentials, that agree on the augmentation of a contraction c of J. Then they carry an
invariant cocycle of J to cohomologous homogeneous cocycles of Z.
For the coinduced resolution contracted by evaluation at 1, the cohomology map is the
identity of Hⁿ(G, X).
